Tuesday's Finds- V-Day Gifts for Friends and Family

I always like to get a little something special for special friends and family members. Just a little something to let them know your thinking of them. Here are a couple of my favorite finds for this occasion.

nuvonova's Pink Deco Doll - blank notebook

Love this one. 120 pages to draw, journal or doodle on. The cover is a drawing of a doll made entirely from shapes. Get some photo corners, i think this one would also make a great scrapbook. Measures 6x4 inches.

novonova also has many other sketchbooks in her shop.

Flameworks' Black Raspberry Vanilla Vegan Soap.
The best gifts in the world are the most luxurious. Flameworks soaps are so fragrant and lather amazingly. I have purchased from this shop on many occasions before for gifts, whoever your buying for, they will thank you. Simple as that. All of the scents in this shop are amazing, black raspberry vanilla is my absolute favorite though.

Just buy the whole shop, it's all awesome.

Jenngee's Coffee Corset
A stylish way to be Eco friendly. Friends don't let friends use ugly paper cuffs. Such a creative idea originated by Jenn. Just use and reuse, keep your hands protected and help the planet a little. (every little bit counts) This shop is also offering free shipping for a limited time. This shop make coffee corsets for anything them you could imagine. Check out this entire shop.

Thecupcakemint's Chocolate Covered Strawberry Vegan Cupcakes
OH MY GOSH. I just had to say it. How is it possible these look so delicious and are vegan too? Im not sure how thecupcakemint does it but they do. Share these with friends and family or better yet give one to your object of affection and tell him or her you made them, you know what they say about hearts and bellies, right? Maybe not a wise idea there actually, i could never make anything that pretty. Even better if you live within 25 miles of the seller, they will deliver for free. Located in NJ.

Just check out the whole shop for delicious gift ideas, and stop drooling.

I hope you all enjoyed today's finds!

palomasnest's BE THE CHANGE tiny text bowl
A little ceramic trinket bowl that measures 3 1/2 inches in diameter and has the words "Be The Change" stamped on the inside. I think this is perfect because you are reminded of this message every time you go to put your rings or other small items in it. Palomasnest ships this item within 2 days. I dare you to be the change today.

Tuesday's Finds-Oh Deer!

Just for the fun of themes, today im featuring Deer themed items that I have found on etsy.

ShoopTiles32 Deer Coaster Set of 4.

Im a big fan of coasters, this shop has tons of amazing tile coasters. They are made from vinyl then placed onto the tiles and sealed with 3 layers of sealant. They also have cork 'feet' so nothing scratches your coffee table. This shop is really amazing. Only 10 items sold so far, but i can see a promising future. I better not see any rings on those coffee tables!

bluetricycle Printable, Giftable-Fawns Stationery and Mini Cards

What an amazing idea. bluetricycle offers many downloadable and printable graphics that you can use over and over again. When your order is recieved the shop owner just emails the graphics to you and you can print them in the size of your choosing on your own cardstock. I can see these being great for thank you notes and just about anything. Formatted to print in different sizes and even comes with templates for creating envelopes. Very economical and since they are .pdf files you don't have any shipping costs at all. Im eyeing a couple of bluetricycle's items for my own use.

sewluckygirl-Peppermint Pink-Sweet Little Baby Deer-Throw Pillow

Gorgeous 10" deer pillow made from handmade appliques, upcycled vintage fabrics and other materials. I could never resist puffball fringe a day of my life. This shop has just a ton of interesting originally designed pillows.

Tuesday's Finds-UniqueDichroic

Today my Christmas gift arrived in the mail from Australia. I purchased a Tree of Life Etched Glass Pendant in rainbow colors from uniquedichroic.etsy.com The seller, Deborah is extremely talented at what she does. She hand etches every one of her tree of life pendants. So although some are similar, no two are ever exactly alike. The pendant I purchased was the one below with the colors of a beautiful sunset in the background.

My buying experience was a total pleasure with Deborah. She was very prompt in answering conversations. She let me know that she received my order and when it was shipped. Another big plus was that her shipping rates were fair too. Free shipping to Australia and just $2.50 to the US and all other countries. The necklace arrived in a nice little pouch with a business card and a nice note handwritten from Deborah. All necklace from uniquedichroic.etsy.com come with a neoprene rubber necklace cord that can be customized to any length you need, so you can wear it right away! The photos do not even do this necklace justice, it's even more beautiful in person.

Hope you will all check out her shop :)
